98 Darling, Please Turn Around (2/2)

The three meter giant roared and jumped up, then landed in the crowd. Swinging his bone saw, two people were instantly thrown into the wall, blood spewed from them. As he swung his saw, many people were instantaneously sliced into halves. Blood spurted out and people screamed.

At the other end of the alley, Ye Qingxuan ran as if his life depended on it. Looking back, he saw the mass of menacing men, angry thugs, and one beastly creature. He wanted to cry. ”Why are you chasing me?!”

The Pyramid King screamed, ”I want...no, hand over the treasure and I’ll let you live!”

Beneath him, Lorenzo yelled, ”Friend, don’t run. We can protect you…”

”Psh, yeah right!” Basset was clad in heavy armor, but he was the fastest, chasing without slowing down. ”Kid, don’t listen to them! Give it to me! You’ll be the Asgardians’ eternal friend!”

”What treasure? What friend?” Ye Qingxuan thought. He had no clue what they were talking about! Resisting the urge to cry, he sped up. As he ran, he suddenly had an idea and tossed something behind him. ”Here’s your treasure. Take it!”

A black object flew from his hands, cut an arc in the air, and fell into Basset’s arms. Forgetting about his sword, the Basset clutched it instinctively. He did not even get the chance to take a look before he was flattened by the crowd behind him.

Someone yelled, ”The treasure’s here!”

”Catch him!”

”Basset got the treasure!”

As more and more people piled on, Basset subconsciously tightened his grasp. There was a squelch, and red liquid oozed out from between his fingers.

The rush of people froze. Some of the drops fell into people's’ mouths, and some people swallowed reflexively. ”Tastes sour and sweet…we can eat the treasure? Mom, I’m going to Avalon too!”

Lorenzo who had rushed over was pissed. He kicked Basset, yelling, ”Idiot, that’s a tomato!”

--

”Don’t you want treasures? Here you go!” Up front, Ye Qingxuan was happily giving out treasures. He continuously tossed things behind him, ”Here’s a tomato! Here’s a potato!”

”Here’s a lychee!” He decided to throw whatever he could get his hands on. He even picked up a frog from the ground and threw it. ”Here’s a frog! Here’s a squid, and an angry banana!”

The angry banana angrily stuck Lorenzo’s face. There were lychee bits on the other side of his face too. This gentleman now looked like a homeless beggar.

Just as the angry Lorenzo began to roar, something was thrown at him again, and splattered his face with blood. He froze in shock. With trembling hands, he took a bloody tampon off his face and finally screamed, ”Kill him! Kill him!”

The Pyramid King finally realized that they could not keep going like this. His men immediately got into position on a rooftop. They aimed at the youth and fired!

Amidst the whistling, an arrow brushed past the youth’s arm and dug into the wall next to him. The arrow twanged like a honeybee’s wings.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the wound on his arm and froze. ”Crap, you guys are for real?”

”Who was f*cking playing around?!” On the rooftop, the Pyramid King yelled, ”Get ready and kill this b*stard!”

Consecutive twangs of bows sounded, sending chills down Ye Qingxuan’s spine. ”I was just buying groceries! What did I do?” Taking a deep breath, he began chanting quietly. Everyone’s angry roars covered his frustration as he chanted the syllables. Under the hoarse melody, the youth’s body blurred, turning whimsical. Rune·Haze!

”Sh*t, forgot that this kid is a student musician!” the Pyramid King growled. ”Shoot! Fire! Kill him!”

Next, Ye Qingxuan added ”Flow” to himself without hesitation. His pallor turned red immediately. Running while performing this task was practically death. Speeding up, he made multiple near-misses. His body grew blurrier, and after a turn, he disappeared.

The mass turned into a mess. The people at the back did not stop running, pushing the people in front to keep chasing. Many accidentally hurt others in the mess, and there was no room for explanations for injured thugs. They could only start fighting each other. Numerous corpses fell to the ground in the axing and stampede. Blood flew amidst roars and screams. No one noticed that the blurry shadow next to the wall that quietly started to move.
